How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
First order: missing items; asked for refund, got account credit instead - no regard for what a customer wants or requests. Customer service phone number rejects calls after a brief message - even though that is advertised as a means of reaching support it does not work = false advertisement. Second order: not delivered, not attempt to leave it with a neighbor either. In both instances, no email follow up after customer service. No transparency, you have to hope they do what they promise to do in chat - which on order 1 was a failure (no refund was actually issued, account credit is not the same).

Great concept, but the Pesco/Vegetarian high protein options are very limited.
Fish options are only salmon, you could also add other fish meals (i.e. tuna or shrimp) and add extra beans for more protein. Doesn't have to be tuna steak but can be from a tin too.
Tofu and tempeh are also high protein and can be delicious when marinated/prepared well. If there are more Pesco/vegetarian options, I would come back as a customer.

The meals are generally very tasty. The delivery however, is still an absolute nightmare. We have received the correct order maybe a handful of times over the last few months. All other times we received either less meals than we paid for, the wrong meals altogether or a combination of both. When calling the customer service we always receive the same solution: credit for the missed meals in the factor wallet, thus forcing us to order there again, or lose the money. We have asked them to pay us back on our bank account, but they tell us it’s not possible to do so, only as a credit for the next order. Would definitely not recommend ordering here until they fix issues with packing orders and paying back customers with actual money!!

I made profile and payed the 0.01 euro that is required to even see the meals. Then I didn’t really like the choices I had so I immediately paused my account, only to receive a notification a few days later that my box will arrive soon. And after checking my bank account they also withdrew 85+ euros for the box!

This is my second review, on July 6th.
I am constantly getting boxes with fewer meals in them.
My order is for 12 boxes, but this week I got 9 and last week I got 10.
I called customer service multiple times with a promise of credit to my account but that also didnt happen.
As far as my balance with Factor goes, they owe me 9 meals.

They dont care about loyal customers. I was expecting some discounts after months of subscription..I was getting cadeu cards only for the new subscribers. Hence why I cancelled my subscription.

FOOD EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. IT'S DELICIOUS AND ALWAYS ON TIME. I RECOMMEND 100%.

The meals themselves are delicious. Good flavors; the meat, fish, or chicken is tender and not dry, but what I am currently really fed up with is that the delivery is a nightmare every single week. Not the delivery itself, but the meals. For the past few weeks, the box hasn't contained the quantity of meals I ordered. Sometimes I get a notification beforehand, but sometimes I don't, and I find too few meals in the box again. It's truly worthless; it's useless this way, and you still have to go to the store to get food.
Initially, I was a customer at HelloFresh, but I cancelled because the delivery was a mess there too. I took out a subscription to Factor Meals, but it turns out to belong to HelloFresh and therefore has the same problems.

Their product is great. Their logistics are horrible. Having only had the service for 2 months, multiple weeks ive had missing meals, and this last week they didnt deliver at all. It was quickly resolved hy good customer service but I dont want to go through the hassle every other week. I just want what I pay, a lot of money, for.

Food is always very fresh, well done and tasty. Choice is big so I always find something interesting for me and my husband.

The factor meals and customer service which was outsourced was horrible. We thru 2 weeks of meals in the garbage as they were uneatable. I got a stomach ache about 20 minutes after eating. They would not let me cancel my membership claiming that I had to pay for the next shipment even though it was days after my first shipment and I called to cancel.

This entire company is completely unprofessional in every possibile way. From the logistics to the delivery, which is simply embarrassing. For the past few months, I've had to call them every week. The driver left a message saying I was out at 8 a.m., even though I'm in the office every day at 5 a.m. All I had to do was press the intercom, but he's either too lazy or not bright enough. When I changed my address after moving, I thought the problem would go away. I received an email saying everything was ready for shipping. On Monday, when I was supposed to pick up the package at 8 a.m., I received a text message saying they wouldn't deliver to that address at all. This is a joke!!!! I don't recommend them; they're a complete amateur.

Arrogant, constant marketing to existing customers, food quality not the same anymore, financial administration a mess.
Factor almost immediately replied on the review by stating they will send me an email. Still waiting for the email...

Wow what an abysmal customer support and incompetence - they not only sent less amount of boxes and refused a refund, they delivered to a neighbor without even checking if they can give me the package within reasonable time - so I got my food after 30 hours sitting in 27 degree weather. Stay away from Factor.
Edit: I spoke to a dozen customer support employees already, everyone had the same "not out problem" attitude, so even if your reply is genuinely nice, it doesn't solve anything.

Generally good. They have the best quality food among competition in my opinion and they are OK priced. Also looks healthier to me than most of the competition.
They do make mistakes, though. You do need to count the meals that they deliver. It happened to me that they delivered fewer meals that I paid for and getting a restitution via service is not that easy -- their service is not easily available.
Also sometimes they are "out of stock" with what you ordered, and they keep adding "Kip Florentine" as their default dish -- it is really annoying.

I received a message the day before that my meals wouldn't be delivered. So what? I couldn't even change the menu or substitute other dishes. Why do you advertise such an extensive menu if you don't fulfill the order? I ordered 12 meals (paid for 12) and only received 7, and they were completely different from what I ordered. The box said "chicken," but the box contained "salmon." I received a refund, but it was deposited into my Factor account for future use, not my bank account. This is ridiculous. Never again!

I used to be super satisfied but ... Portions have decreased, especially meat and fish, sometimes meals are too oily or have too much sauce. After king's day, they forgot to deliver me ... We need improvements!

Great food but poor communication. My food box was cancelled without any notification, needed to reach out and ask what was going on.
